Re: Recognize Hard Drive space

[Wesley Leonard <marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

mount /dev/hda1 -t ext2 /mountpoint

Make a directory that will be the mountpoint someone on your system, replace
hda1 with whatever the linux partition is (hda2, etc).

For windows, it's teh same kind of thing except use -t vfat

You can add these to the /etc/fstab file so they mount automatically upon boot.

man mount for more info!
